Sesko Compared to Haaland by Former Coach Amid Man Utd Struggles

Benjamin Sesko, the 22-year-old Manchester United forward, has drawn comparisons to Manchester City star Erling Haaland from former RB Salzburg coach René Aufhauser, who worked closely with both players. Despite Sesko's slow start at United, with only one start and no Premier League goals yet, Aufhauser rates him very highly, giving him a nine to nine-and-a-half out of 10 and expressing confidence that Sesko will reach Haaland's level within one to two years. Haaland, rated a perfect 10 by Aufhauser, reached his peak after transferring to Manchester City, and Sesko is expected to follow a similar developmental trajectory. Sesko himself has said that comparisons to Haaland motivate rather than pressure him, and many teammates have told him he surpasses Haaland in some respects. Sesko's early career included a prolific period at RB Salzburg and a transfer from RB Leipzig to Manchester United for a significant fee, highlighting United's belief in his potential. While Sesko has yet to make a major impact at Old Trafford, his former coach's high praise underscores the anticipation around his future performance.
